how to make Crispy Pizza Chips

Follow these simple steps. Work in a clean area. Preheat and dry the tortillas to keep them crisp.

Ingredients :

4 tortillas Corn or Flour Tortillas (Choose corn for a traditional crunch or flour for a softer bite.)
1 cup Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce (Opt for thicker sauces to keep chips crispy.)
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Feel free to mix in cheddar, provolone, or Parmesan.)
1 cup Toppings (Customize with favorites like pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives.)

How to Make Crispy Pizza Chips

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each tortilla into 6–8 wedges like a pizza slice.
Place wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece.
Lightly brush or spray each wedge with a little oil for extra crisp, if you like.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce on each wedge. Use just enough to cover the center thinly.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
Add small pieces of your chosen toppings.
Season with Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake for 8–12 minutes. Watch closely. The edges should turn golden and the cheese should melt.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes to become extra crisp. If you want to use homemade dough instead of tortillas, follow this homemade pizza dough guide before slicing and baking.

how to serve Crispy Pizza Chips

Serve warm on a plate for a party or on a napkin for a quick snack. Offer extra pizza sauce or ranch for dipping. They pair well with a cold drink or a simple salad.

tips to make Crispy Pizza Chips

Use thin sauce and small amounts so chips stay crisp.
Cut tortillas evenly so pieces cook at the same time.
Do not overload toppings. Heavy toppings make chips soggy.
Use corn tortillas for a stronger crunch.
Bake on parchment or a wire rack to let air flow.

variation (if any)

Pepperoni Parmesan: add small pepperoni and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Veggie: use bell peppers, onions, and olives.
Spicy: add extra red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce after baking.
Cheesy mix: blend mozzarella with cheddar for more flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these without an oven?
A: Yes. You can use an air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes. Watch to avoid burning.

Q: Can I make them gluten-free?
A: Use gluten-free tortillas and check your sauce and toppings for gluten. This keeps them safe for gluten-free diets.

Q: How do I keep chips from getting soggy?
A: Use less sauce, thin slices of toppings, and bake until the edges are crisp. Cool them before storing.

Q: Can I make them ahead for a party?
A: Make them close to serving time for best crunch. If you must make ahead, reheat in a hot oven for a few minutes.
